Most Tweeted Moments During #SOTU

Didja watch the State of the Union last night? Didja? Didja? Or were you too busy refreshing liveblogs, watching the Whitehouse.gov PowerPoint 2.0Enhanced Version, and tracking #sotu on Twitter? It’s also possible that you sat down in front of the TV with a glass of port and silently watched the president deliver this once-a-year address, like a normal person. Whatever you were doing, Twitter summed up the IRT reaction to last night’s speech with a fascinating, albeit predictable infographic on the most tweeted moments during the SOTU.

Most-tweeted moments during SOTU 2012

Will “spilled milk” become the “smoked salmon” of 2012? It looks that way. Trending topics of the night also included education, tuition, renewable energy plans, not-so-renewable energy plans, and new jobs in the tech sector. But the most tweets per minute (or TPM, which is a metric now) occurred after Obama’s “spilled milk” pun. (At 9:51pm, Obama quipped, “I guess it was worth crying over spilled milk,” re: milk was once classified as an oil by American farmers decades ago, and isn’t “oil spill” such a loaded term anyway? You get it.)

But live-tweeting isn’t just relegated to the rabble. Members of Congress fired off 548 tweets during the ceremony, including House Speaker John Boehner, who could not have personally deployed the 10+ attack tweets at Obama while staring mournfully at the camera, unless he’s some kind of masterful texter. (Patriots WR Chad Ochocinco even tweeted @SpeakerBoehner: “Just read some of your tweets and you seem pretty angry kind sir. I can see you on tv but you’re not smiling. Hope you’re ok.”)

I’ve only attached parts of the infographic and, as a whole, it’s a pretty interesting window into the whole “where we are now” in terms of social, election issues, puns, etc. To see the entire infographic, check it out here.
